(Misty-blue is the mental age of a ten year old)

Misty-Blue's POV

It's been a couple weeks since I woke up from status. I'm learning quickly. My name is Misty-blue and my guardian is Ratchet. I can walk, run and fly. I'm learning to talk and read. Ratchet says I am doing well. I see human sparklings every few days. The femme Miko is so loud, I stay away from her. The two mechs though are quieter and the short one Raf is helping me learn to read. While Jack keeps Miko away from me.

As for the other autobots, Arcee the only other femme. Is teaching me basic fighting statuses. Bumblebee plays games with me.  Bulkhead tells me old war stories of his time as a wrecker. Optimus the leader of the autobots. Make sure I get enough recharge and never leave the base. But I'm honestly getting bored, I want to explore the open world. Not be stuck is this mountain. I'm planning on asking Ratchet if I could go out with Bulkhead.

Anyway Ratchet and I were doing my reading lesson when an angry human mech appeared on screen yelling. "Loose Cannons Prime! What in blazes are your people doing out here?! We had an agreement! No collateral damage!" he shouts as I hide behind Ratchet scared. Who is this human and why is he so angry.

"Please lower your voice Agent Fowler. I am sorry,  but all Autobots are present and accounted for" Optimus tells him. As the autobots gather around Ratchet and I.

"Then explain why I'm receiving reports of two jumbo-size bots mixing it up" Fowler demands.

"Decepticons" Ratchet says and I cling to him more. I've never meet a con, but they sound evil.

"There has been plenty of infighting lately. Megatron can't seem to keep his ranks in line" Arcee states.

"Well, I'm just arriving on the scene" Fowler tells us. "Have a look" he says and an image of a crushed ship appears on screen. The image zooms in on a decepticon, I can tell by his insignia. But other then that I don't see a difference between him and the autobots.

"I don't know.Paint job beside it can't be Sky-quake.You and Optimus pounded him into the ground" Bulkhead states.

"Before Starscream yanked him back out as some kind of un-dead terrorcon.The question still stands -- who's the dance partner?" Arcee asks. The image changes to another crashed ship. It zooms in on an autobot.

"By the Allspark, it is one of ours" Ratchet says. I poke my head up to get a better look at the new autobot. "Stay down Misty-Blue" he tells me. I pout but do so.

"Wheel-jack.Jackie's back!" Bulkhead exclaims happily. Oh so this is the Wheel-jack from all of his war stories? I thought he'd be taller.

"I don't care if Abraham Lincoln is back.We have to contain this situation before we all wind up on the eleven o'clock news!" the man states.

"Ratchet prepare a ground bridge" Optimus orders.

"Misty-blue, you're going to love Jackie" Bulkhead tells me. He leaves with the others.

"Sire, are they bringing the con back?" I ask my guardian worried.

"Of course not, just Wheel-jack. Who will no doubt need medical attention" he tells me. "So I'll need you to either entertain yourself or hangout with one of the others" he states. I nod my head in understanding. I hop off of him and go over the human section turning on the TV. I find the documentary channel and as Meerkat Manor starts. I sit on the floor and start to watch it.

Soon the others return with Wheel-jack and sire gets to work mending him. As he explains his story. Apparently he'd located another old wrecker and they had set up to meet. But the con known as Dread-wing got there first and blew him up. Nearly taking out Wheel-jack in the process. Wheel-jack tracked Dread-wing to here and obviously wants revenge.

"Revenge solves nothing" I state.

"Where did you come from? Who's the sparkling?" Wheel-jack asks surprised.

"She's been here for two weeks now. We saved her from the cons and her designation is Misty-Blue" Ratchet states. I wave a Wheel-jack and go back to Meerkat Manor. Only to see it ending. I turn off the TV and fly over to Bumblebee.

"I know of this Dread-wing.He was captain of a seeker armada, and, as such, like his twin, Sky-quake, fiercely loyal to the decepticon cause.Dread-wing has no doubt traveled to Earth to pay allegiance to his one true master" Optimus explains.

"Hope he's enjoying the visit.It's gonna be his last" Wheel-jack states as he stands up.

"Wheel-jack, this planet is heavily inhabited.Any strike we make against the Decepticons must be carefully measured as a team, lest we risk endangering the human population" Optimus tells him.

"Are you suggesting we sit back and do nothing?" Wheel-jack demands.

"You! Loose cannon! Your cowboy antics almost blew our cover!" the human mech shouts as he appears. I squeak and hide behind Ratchet. "What was that?" he demands.

"It's ok Misty-blue" Ratchet assures me. Picking me up placing me on his hip.

"Agent Fowler this is Misty-Blue, she is a sparkling. She is new to the team and will not be going into the field" Optimus states. I wave shyly.

"Cover?" Wheel-jack says drawing the attention away from me. I give him a grateful smile and snuggle into Ratchet.

"We're robots in disguise, Jackie.You needed an earth-based vehicle mode outside of here" Bulkhead explains.

"That spaceship you shot down -- not earth-based! I had to jump through some big hoops to get it hauled out of plain sight.You need to keep a tighter leash on your people, Prime" Fowler states. This makes Wheel-jack mad. Ratchet puts me down.

"A tighter leash? Let me clarify, tiny.I'm not one of Optimus Prime's people" Wheel-jack tells him before leaving. Bulkhead follows him. While the others focused on Optimus and Fowler. I slip away wanting to properly meet Wheel-jack.

I follow Bulkhead without a sound and see him go outside. I look at the door warily. I haven't been outside before. And it was one of the rules that I don't go outside. Especially alone. But my curiosity got the better of me. So I go outside and look around in awe feeling the dirt beneath my pedes (feet) seeing the darkening blue sky. Smelling the fresh air.

I fly up and spot Bulkhead heading for a cave. I fly after him feeling freer then I have since I came online. I wonder what it'd be like to fly through the clouds. I shake my head focusing on my current mission. Meeting Wheel-jack properly. I reach a cave to see him talking to Bulkhead.

"That's what I'm talking about.Wreckers are Autobots.There just aren't that many of us left.But if we get behind Optimus, we have a chance to end this once and for all" Bulkhead tells him.

"Guys like Optimus -- they talk a good game, but when you're in the scrap, they don't want to get their hands dirty" Wheel-jack states.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa.You don't know Optimus like I do.Being a Wrecker meant everything to me, but I left that behind" Bulkhead tells him.

"Because Prime was the real thing blah, blah, blah" Wheel-jack mutters. Something beeps from inside the ship. They go inside and I follow hiding behind a crate.

"Wheel-jack, I know you're out there, listening.I have a proposition for you" someone says. Wheel-jack says it's Dread-wing. "Meet me at these coordinates if you have the Spark" he says and coordinates appear onscreen. I look at them and go to leave to tell Optimus. When suddenly the ship takes off. I squeal as I land on my hind quarters.

"Misty-blue!" Bulkhead exclaims picking me up. "What are you doing here? Are you hurt?" he asks me.

"I wanted to meet Wheel-jack and no" I tell him.

"We have to take her back Jackie" Bulkhead says as he places me in the copilot chair straping me in.

"She'll be fine" Wheel-jack tells him. "She has us to watch out for her and it's only Dread-wing he states. "Ever seen a con kiddo?" he asks me and I shake my head.

"At least let me call for back up" Bulkhead tells him.

"You know Wreckers don't call for backup" Wheel-jack tells him.

"They call for clean-up" they say together.

(Time skip)

"Stay on the ship, if you see a con. Press this button" Wheel-jack tells me pointing to a yellow button. "It'll take you back to base" he states.

"We mean it Misty-blue stay on the ship" Bulkhead tells me. Before they left. I explore the ship feeling hungry. I find Wheel-jack's energon supply and nick a small cube. I was enjoying it when the comm system came to life.

"Bulkhead come in, Wheelj-jack?" Optimus asks. I see a flashing blue button and press it.

"Hey Optimus, I flew in a ship" I say excitedly.

"Misty-blue, you are in so much trouble young lady" Ratchet states. "Supply your coordinates" he states.

"I don't know them. I'm not far from Bulkhead though" I tell him. Suddenly I hear a ground bridge and look out to see Optimus. I smile and run outside giving him a hug.

Suddenly we hear an explosion and I cling to him scared. "Ratchet open a ground bridge. I'm sending Misty-blue back" Optimus orders. A new ground bridge appears and Optimus puts me down. Pointing to it.

"Be careful" I tell him and go through. I felt dizzy afterwards. Ratchet took me to the med-bay and gave me a scan. Giving me a clean bill of health before grounding me and sending me to my room. While he went back to the control room.

(Time skip)

I'm back to my studies. Optimus and the other two got back safely. "Listen, commander, I just want to say it was an honor watching you work.I, uh, think maybe I had the wrong idea about you" Wheel-jack admits.

"And it would seem that you place a greater value on community than you otherwise let on" Optimus says offering him his servo (hand).

"Whoa, let's not jump the gun here" Wheel-jack tells him and Bulkhead slaps his shoulder.

"Come on, Jackie.If you leave, you'll probably just wind up coming right back again" Bulkhead states.

"All that wasted fuel, and Energon is in short supply" Arcee adds.

"Then again, we do have limited space" Ratchet states.

"But I want him to stay, at least for a little while" I whine.

"Not sure if I'm ready to give up my freedom just yet.Maybe I could do some exploring, see if this rock suits me" Wheel-jack says. I smile clapping my hands.

"No offense to the Jackhammer, but you need an earth-based vehicle mode" Bulkhead tells him. So Wheel-jack gets one. Stays for a few days to see the human kids. Before leaving to explore Earth. I felt a little jealous, I wanted to explore and I wasn't allowed. I can't even transform yet.
